Sydney Tramway Museum celebrated 60 years of operation and 75 years of
tram preservation yesterday.
A huge crowd attended to join the celebrations and the loacl member of
NSW parliament presented a framed Community Recognition Statement. She
stayed for several hours taliking with the STM people and was clearly
impressed.
Well done all at STM!
A couple of pics - first shows beautiful F class tram no 393 - an
operating tram 125 years old - with R class 1740 behind it.
Second photo shows the first tram preserved - LP class no 154. It began
as another F class car but was rebuilt into the classic Sydney 'toastrack'.
Mal Rowe whom enjoyed the rides and the conversations.

A great day and lots of “colourful tramway identities” in attendance. Sadly, a few familiar faces from earlier years no longer with us. A nice touch was the official group photo of visitors from other museums around Australia.
A huge turnout of the general public supported by a contingent of enthusiasts.
The museum was very well presented and the weather was amazing.
Few of us got caught by train problems on the way back but no big deal.
I had a short ride in a coupled set on the “current” tramway this morning. Loads were very good.
